These days when we think about romantic comedies we think of not greatly acted weak movies, well this one is exception. There are very few movies as beautifully as this one. With a powerful script and of course unbeliveable acting this is a true classic. Jack Nicholson with another freaky role and as always very exceptional. I think he gave his charecter depth which earnd him another oscar. Also Helen Hunt was great too. Just like Nicholson Hunt gave her charecter depth too while earning her first and only oscar. In my opinion these two made this movie more than a romantic comedy with their effort. However if there wasn't a script as powerful as this one I don't think it would be this succsesful.

It is just unbelieveable how Russel Crowe is acting. One year before this movie he was Maximus in the Gladiator a brave, loyal general. Then he became this asocial, mentally ill, genius mathematician. Again another world-class performance by him. In adittion to this one of the best supporting actress performances I have ever seen comes in. Jeniffer Connelly was perfect. In the bathroom scene where she throws a glass bottle to mirror, I was genuinely scared. Her definitley the best acting performance... no doubt. Althought acting was top tier the story wasn't input great in my opinion. It kind of confuses you to follow the timeline. Other than acting, in my point of view, movie was just above average nothing great.

With the unbeliveable acting and production design, it feels like you are actually there. Russel Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix were really into their characters moreover achevied a new level of the depth in them. Worldclass cinematography. It is a perfect exapmle of a modern classic.
